Googling the issue, (yes, only Google) seems to support the hypotheses that wages in the industry were negotiated for paid time to account for overall compensation.
It doesn’t make it right, nor does it mean anyone should agree with it. But it certainly seems to be the case.
The concept of overall compensation vs hourly wage for specific hours worked really is throwing everyone for a loop.
Obviously a union is going to say they want an hourly wage increase plus for the pay to apply for every hour worked while the company is going to say you can’t have it both ways as current hourly wage is high in order to account for the non-flying time that was unpaid.
